During the 2022 ‒ 2023 academic year, Dr. Stephanie G. Adams, Dean of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas, called for a Year of Gratitude. A simple, bare tree was placed in the Axxess Atrium of the Engineering and Computer Science West Building, with a box full of blank gift tags instructions for passersby to write what they are grateful for. Over time, the tree filled with messages. Thank you all for being a part of the Jonsson School community!
